God & Country

Stewart's book is must read! The film deviates from the book in it importantly examines the effect negative effect Christian nationalism has on Christianity. While this is very important, thought more focus on the impact to democracy. Woukd have be valuable to those wanting to learn more about this movement. That said the thoughts of David French and Russel Moore are important to understanding the film does a good job with the difficult job of revealing the disguise of Christian nationalism'a use of religion to organize a political movement. If you are a fan of the Orange Jesus you will hate this film. If you are confused by how so many devout Evangelicals could support OJ this will help provide a perspective.

This is a timely and well done documentary. It's unfortunate that the same people who believe in Christian Nationalism are also the people who believe every conspiracy theory and Qanon. There are many reasons those circles overlap. Hopefully more people will watch this film. I do wish it was free though. More people would watch it and it is needed.

Christians that have mixed politics and power with Jesus need to examine why they need a country so fascist that everyone else is required to believe and act as the Christians require.

Abortion was not a protestant issue until the unholy marriage of the televangelist and corporations needed to pull the right under just a few ideas. It was a Catholic issue and belief that the Mother has little value.

Christian Nationalism is the antithesis of what the Deist founding Father's envisioned when they left the toil and strife of religious turmoil behind on the shores of Europe.

Love how the trolls that rated the documentary low...many have not watched it. They are afraid it may shake their belief system to its core by challenging the worst aspects of its tenants.

Are all Christians bad? No. Are all Christian Nationalist bed for this country? Yes.

This is a necessary and important documentary. The participants are Christian Evangelical historians, pastors, and authors that explain the history of Christian Nationalism and how it currently affects the democracy of the United States. It shows us what Christian Nationalists believe, who they hate, what they want the country to look like, and how they want to get there using their own words. The footage of them talking about Trump and 1/6 is chilling. People of any faith and those without should watch this and take the words, actions, and beliefs very seriously. They want to dismantle democracy.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that Christian Nationalism (like any other religious nationalism, for example in Iran) is dangerous, because almost nothing can be more dangerous for a country than when it's ruled by people who are 100% convinced that they were chosen by none other than the Creator of the Universe himself to fix the world. And fixing the world means forcing their religion on all people. Christian nationalists believe in an angry, vengeful god who does not tolerate dissent and is eager to punish Humanity. Since God is not here to personally do it, his followers will do his job for him. Christian nationalists want to placate the wrath of their god, by imposing his will, which, in the case of this deity, is written in a heap of copies of rags of parchments from the Iron Age, with myths also from the Bronze Age.

I recommend the book "Liberated from Religion", by Paulo Bitencourt, which brilliantly exposes this great danger.

Uncovers the origins of Christian Nationalism and where it sits during the polarized political climate America sits in today. As someone who grew up in a southern Baptist church, I found it helpful to see where this political ideology stemmed from in comparison to my own experiences growing up and now as an adult. Prior to viewing, I already felt the conflation of Christian Nationalism with Christianity is a threat to both democracy and my core religious beliefs - it was refreshing to see I am not going crazy with what is happening. Overall, the documentary had me going back to my Bible to re-assess the teachings of Jesus, and take Christianity back to the gospels/away from politics.
